Disappearing
She quickly evaluated their relative positions. Unfortunately, there were more “chips” on his side than on hers – if he only knew. Fortunately, although he’d boasted that he was a smart businessman when Bette had met him in his office earlier (“I hate to take advantage of a pretty young thing like you, miss, but, I’m the shark in this here parts,” he’d boasted), Bette could see he wasn’t that smart and didn’t have the first clue about how much of an advantage he held over her in this transaction.
Jackass.
He’d failed to see that this was not a situation dictated by the market value of this piece of real estate. This was a negotiation wrapped in a game. Bad luck for him that she excelled at games and had majored in game theory.
Tic tok, tic-tok. The clock ticking in her head reminded her she had a million things to get done after buying this building. She needed to start necessary renovations in order to convert it into a hipster-type café in time for the first wave of people associated with a big action film shoot she’d been tipped about would roll into a nearby stretch of land. She calculated that this was the closest town to the film shoot, and if she could attract the bunch of movie types, actors, and assorted truckloads of people who’d need decent coffee and a cool place to hang out in while doing the movie, the buzz that activity would create could get the café she wanted to set up off to a great start. Yeah, sure, setting up a café the likes of which she wanted to build from scratch in the middle of nowhere sounded like the worst kind of business plan. She doubted she’d be able to convince a typical banker to bank-roll a venture like this.
This place was zero, money-wise. She’d need to be really creative to make any money out here. Good thing she was her own banker, so of course she gave herself the green light for this crazy venture.
Unfortunately, she had to deal with this spittle-spewing man before she could get to work. Ugh! She really needed to close this deal, pronto.
Fine. I’m not going to totally destroy him, then.

Hey skydancer,
It is so great you are back with another incredible story!
I am grateful to the someone who sent you the draft.
It is a fantastic first chapter and like Bette “There better be something worth running to at the end of all this.” But knowing you it will be worthy!
Great to see you back, skydancer. Love your vivid style of writing. Outstanding! Great hook to kick this off. You got some mad skills woman.
Big fan, Skydancer. Your work is always stunning…polished. You have a talent for creating such interesting characters. Looking forward to seeing where this leads.
Nice to have you back skydancer love your writing.
Hope you can give us a regular ‘fix’ particularly as this story has had such a great and enticing start.
Hey Sky, long time no post. I love the intrigue that you masterfully offer in your stories. Feel free to visit again soon.
Hello! Am glad the story is finding an audience. Was working on the next couple of chapters but am revising aspects of what’s going on, bec I think we’re not allowed to post sexy scenes. And you know how the Bette in my stories likes to play.
Let me know if you think this story continues to work!
Very interesting. Will read almost anything with Bette and Tina especially if there is little bit of intrigue and mystery. Thanks for posting.
